The AIHA administers a laboratory accreditation program with the objective of assisting those laboratories engaged in analyses of industrial hygiene samples in achieving and maintaining performance levels within acceptable ranges. Internationally, laboratories performing occupational hygiene sample analyses come under a national accreditation scheme covering a wide range of products and industries, such as compliance with International Standard Organization ISO 17025. This includes the European Union, South Africa, and Japan. In Australia, this is the National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia (NATA) which is Australia's national accreditation body for the accreditation of laboratories, inspection bodies, calibration services, producers of certified reference materials, and proficiency testing (PT) scheme providers throughout Australia. In the United Kingdom, the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) operates PT schemes in support of workplace and environmental asbestos assessments, again particularly in the area of asbestos identification and counting.
